“I can assure you that the Danish Government attaches great importance to tourism and our longstanding relationship with China,” he added.
In addition, the minister will discuss strategic cooperation with senior Chinese officials in the areas of patent and shipping, according to a statement from the Danish embassy in Beijing.
